Do's and Don'ts

  • Don't skimp on the sunscreen.Sunny skies 365 days a year means that potent rays radiate on your skin every day. Just one measly hour on the beach burns you to a crisp, and you can even get a tan on your stroll to a restaurant. Don’t forget to lather up in protection to avoid sun spots, sunburns, and especially melanoma..

  • Do discover Millionaire’s Row by boat.
    One of the state’s — scratch that, country’s most extravagant residential areas, the aptly-named Millionaire’s Row is home to celebrities like Shaquille O’Neal, Gloria Estefan, and P.Diddy, just to name a few.

    On a crowd-favorite boat tour, you’ll be able to spot the mansions and boats of these famous names, with spectacular views of Biscayne Bay all the way through.

  • Do take an exciting airboat tour of the Everglades National ParkWe all know that Florida is famous for its swamplands and alligators, and there’s no better way to see it all up close than on an airboat tour.

    With a few fellow travelers alongside you, you’ll ride on an airboat through the heart of Everglades and admire the wildlife in their natural habitat.

    Keep your eyes peeled; the legendary inhabitants of the park (yes, alligators!) like to sneak up on you.

  • Just don’t go in the Everglades in the peak of SummerNo matter what, avoid the mosquito inferno that is the Everglades National Park in the summer. The swamps are insufferably humid; the air is too think to breathe, and your hair will experience a frizz like never before.

  • Do ride a bike through South Beach.Sick of walking? If you’re strapped for time (and even if you’re not), the best way to explore South Beach is on two wheels.

    If you’re looking for a fun and energetic way to discover the famous summer strip, join a locally-led bike tour.

    Not only will you cycle along the vast fine-sand beaches, explore Miami’s famous Art Deco District, and take a dip in the water at Nikki Beach, but you’ll also head off the beaten track and discover some of the area’s hidden gems.

  • Don’t driveDon’t drive unless you have hawk-like reflexes. The city’s practically the real-life version of the game Crazy Taxi. Cars here jump multiple lanes without warning, take red lights and do their share of inexplicable law-breaking moves, such as randomly entering on the wrong side of the expressway. Opt for Uber instead, or use the public transportation system’s Metrorail, Metromover, bus or trolley. If you do venture out there, make sure you have car insurance.

  • Do rent your own Jet Ski.Add an adrenaline rush to your vacation with a jet ski tour!

    With the speed fully at your control, you can cruise around the turquoise waters of Miami bay at a relaxing pace of a break-neck speeds — either way, there’s plenty of time to admire the fantastic Miami skyline (and keep an eye for dolphins too).

  • Don’t say to a local that Miami Beach is Miami.Contrary to popular belief, Miami Beach is not all there is to Miami and saying that will get a true Miamian angry. The beach is an island known for its party lifestyle and its tourism, and the mainland is where the Miami locals actually live and work (for the most part). Miami is a big city, covering a lot of ground with numerous pockets of neighborhoods to explore.

  • Do visit the Wynwood Art District.One of the world’s most incredible outdoor street art museums, the renowned Wynwood Walls present the perfect backdrops for that long-overdue new profile picture.

    Not only is it a visual masterpiece, but it’s also historically relevant too; on a guided street art tour, you’ll learn about Miami’s local art scene, including the work of Shepard Fairey, Retna, DFace, and Interesni Kaski, just to name a few.

  • Don't forget to explore the suburbs.Miami’s brimming with charming neighborhoods worth your attention. From the historic Colonial-style suburb of Coral Gables to the tropical oasis that is Coconut Grove, each suburb has their own personality and points of interest to explore. And you can’t forget the vibrant Little Havana if you want a taste of the real Cuban culture..

  • Do explore the Art Deco district by Segway...Are you looking for a fun way to experience the essence of South Beach? Then why not try something different and hop on your Segway?

    With a local expert leading the way, guests can enjoy zipping-around Ocean Drive, soak in the vibrant culture, and learn the history of the city while gliding down bike paths — all without breaking a sweat!
